In Berlin, Tesla throws a party!
This page is translated from the original post "À Berlin, Tesla fait la fête !" in French.

Tesla continues to write its name in gold letters in automotive history, despite a particularly turbulent period.
Proof of this is Tesla just reaching an impressive milestone with the production of the 500,000th Model Y at its Giga Berlin-Brandenburg factory. A remarkable achievement for a factory that, in just three years, has established itself as a pillar of the company’s ambitious global manufacturing strategy.
This was announced via Tesla Manufacturing’s “home” network on X, along with a photo celebrating the event. In the picture, the employees of Giga Berlin stand proudly beside the latest Model Y off the production lines, surrounded by balloons and confetti, marking a historic moment for the German factory. Since its official opening on March 22, 2022, it has taken just over 1,000 days to reach this half-million vehicle milestone. While this pace remains slightly below that of Giga Shanghai, it is nonetheless impressive and underscores the strategic importance of the Berlin site for Tesla.
Resilience According to Tesla
The road to get here has not been without obstacles. Initially named Gigafactory 4, Giga Berlin’s construction began in 2020. Amid the global pandemic, environmental opposition, and administrative constraints, the journey was fraught with challenges. But true to its DNA, Tesla never backed down in the face of adversity. The factory was grandly inaugurated during a “Giga Fest” event in October 2021, before receiving final approval in March 2022.
Today, Giga Berlin has an annual production capacity of over 375,000 vehicles, with plans for expansion to further increase this number. Currently, the factory is solely dedicated to assembling the Model Y, Tesla’s most popular model, and supplies at least 38 markets worldwide.
If Tesla is experiencing turbulent times, it would be unwise to underestimate its incredible capacity for resilience and innovation. The story of the Californian automaker is far from over, and Giga Berlin is a shining proof of that.
